More than a shop

Pull up a chair at the big table

The big table at the centre of the shop is a hub for village life — meetings, clubs, coffee and conversation. Everyone is welcome, whether you're a regular or just passing through on the Ring of Kerry.

Friends and neighbours gathered around the big table at Sneem Book Shop, surrounded by bookshelves and baskets of knitting wool
